Well, the misspelling of Patricia Morison was another error in that original ad then!

I did happen at the time to miss the misspelling on the ad for Patricia Morison. Good work in noticing that error.

Should it be Patricia Morrison? Two Rs?

No it isn't that spelling. It is a rookie's mistake of leaving off a credit for the film distributor MGM.

Is C623 The Sniper from 1952?

Yes the little known Stanley Kramer produced film The Sniper is the correct answer, so well done.
Marie Windsor and Arthur Franz are shown in the image

Re: Where Are These Daybills?

Yes. I have the PRC releases from the late 40s, and the ones after, well, I'm less interested in.

I am curious about the PRC posters that you have from the late 1940s. Are they perhaps U.S,A. printed posters that you are referring to? Any Australian daybills at all, and so I would love to know their titles.

PRC folded up in 1947, and their last released films were for some limited titles during 1948. PRC became Eagle-Lion in 1947.

C619 was a real challenge. I believe it is The Five Pennies from 1959. I eventually found the lobby card image on IMDB. Danny Kaye has been cut from the left side of the image.

Great perseverance so well bone.

Seeing that Technicolor is a registered trademark it should strictly be spelt how it's registered no matter where it's being exhibited. I think in most cases it would have been spelt correctly, as in this poster. If the tagline was just "In Color" - then I think it would be changed to "In Colour" here in Australia, which would be correct.
I have a feeling that "Color by Technicolor" was contractual. (I'm not a fan of the spelling either, but that's just the way it is!)

I just did a checking out of hundreds of my Australian daybill images and found the following results..

Apart from Color By Technicolor appearing on daybill posters there were also numerous posters that had Print By Technicolor, In Technicolor and Technicolot printed on them.

Regarding the just Color credit I located daybill posters having a credit of either color or In Color printed on them.

Also found was a daybill with Color By De Luxe appearing it.

Now to the Australian spelling of Colour on Australian daybills, I only located two examples with this spelling applied.. The films in question are Fury At Smugglers Bay and Saturday Island.

I also found an Australian 3 Sheet of Saturday Island that also had the colour spelling printed on it. Interestingly both the daybill and the 3 Sheet were printed by two different printers. This surely must then confirm that the error was the fault of the Australin distributor RKO Radio.and not a mistake by the printer.
